This new J model 130 is really a whole new aircraft. The electronics are such that they went from a 5 man crew on the older models to a 3 man crew on the J model. New engines and props make more power, better fuel economy, and better performance. And they stretched the fuselage for more cargo capacity.

He's done all sorts of flying over there, from landing on dirt strips to air drops to aeromedical evacuations.
